[OPEN] the first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event
Who: Pharos, and destinystrings
Where: The Scorpio Ward, the middle of the afternoon, walking around in the snow.
Summary: This is the first time the child personification of death has ever personally experienced snow and needless to say, Pharos is just as endlessly fascinated with it as any kid would be on his first snowday. Therefore, exploration is in order!
Warnings: Small children being cute, and Pharos being weird as usual. Also probably mentions of death because this is Pharos we're talking about here, and that's what he does, think about death?
There's a little black-haired child wandering about the Scorpio district today, scrambling up the ridiculously high staircases, walking through crooked alleys that crisscross the ward, and popping his head out one of the doorways that open onto the thin air of the mild snowstorm and staring down at the snowy street below, watching the flurries of snow buffet the people wrapped up in their warm coats as they moved up and down the district. Demons as well, both those ill-suited to the cold and those who basked in it, in their element, flickered from place to place, busy even in the first snow of the year.
It's not the elaborate constructions of art that interest him, nor the countless crafts shops lining the streets; it's the snow.
It's... incredible.
He has never seen anything quite like it. Yeah, sure, he had witnessed it in his container(s)' memories, but he was detached from those recollections, and had observed them as if from behind a thick sheet of glass. His entire existence had been lived through others, never through his own eyes, and it was a change to touch and feel things firsthand for himself. A nice one, even if the cold air chilled his skin and numbed his fingertips unpleasantly.
One of the Arisatos, being the responsible quasi-guardians of Death they are, soon after the first icy snowflakes drifted down in clumps from the overcast gray sky, had realized what little protection Pharos' thin black-and-white striped uniform provided him against the cold weather and outfitted him with a slightly over-sized, puffy gray winter coat, gloves, a lilac blue scarf wrapped around his neck, and decent fur-lined snow boots instead of allowing him to walk around in his sandals and lose all of his toes to frostbite like he had originally planned to. Clouds of white vapor hung in front of his face as he breathed out.
Wide blue eyes gazed up at the sky, attempting to track every swirling dot of white that fell out of the heavens. Every now and then as he wanders silently from place to place, he stops and tries to catch the snowflakes before they touch the ground. Feel free to run into him anywhere in the Scorpio ward; of course, sometimes it's easy to lose track of small ghost children in the swirls of the white snowfall, and Pharos certainly appears wraith-like with his pale skin and luminous blue eyes.... So be careful about that. Maybe your eyes will play tricks on you.
But don't worry. He just wants to play in the snow for awhile.

Mimicking what he had seen Nick do earlier with his own snowman, Pharos etched in a lopsided grin with his finger, using pebbles for eyes and sticks (or straws) for crooked arms. He's considering how he can could possibly make it look like either of his best friends (A bundle of dead leaves over one dull gray stone-eye for Minato, maybe or a bristle of sticks at the back of the head for Minako?) when Nick speaks.
"Thank you for showing me how to do this," he replies before asking thoughtfully, "Snow angels? Are they like snowmen?" Snow angels, he means. Are they made out of snow as well? And then Pharos remembered belatedly that the older man had reminded him to not take things so literally, and flushed a little.

He finds a suitably deep patch of snow and flops down on it on his back. He moves his arms up and down, and his legs in and out. "You just do this, see?" He gets up, and points at the shape. "And you get an angel! It's kinda fun. Although you do kinda get snow down your neck..."

It takes Nick bouncing back up to his feet and explaining for it to click.
"It does look like a person wearing a robe," he observed with a nod and inched closer to stand next to the deep impression crushed into the snow bank. But Pharos' fingers are cold enough by now he doesn't try it by flopping down in the snow himself. (Snow slithering into his coat and down his back does not sound fun, even if making snow-angels did.)
